What to Expect in a Healing Touch Session

Preparing for your first Healing Touch Session

Your first appointment will begin with a review of your lifestyle, medical history, and any current physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual concerns. We will discuss your long-term and short-term goals for treatment and create a wellness plan that is tailor-made for your needs.

Next, you will be asked to remove your shoes and invited to lie, clothed comfortably, on a treatment table (or, if you prefer, you may sit in a chair).

I will assess your energy system and then use a variety of techniques with my hands above your body, or with your permission, in light contact with your body, to clear blocked energy, enhance the flow of energy, and restore your energy system to a more clear and balanced state.

What does Healing Touch therapy feel like?

Most people feel deeply relaxed and occasionally experience a dream-like state. You might feel a variety of sensations such as tingling, temperature fluctuations, internal movement, or emotional release. Sometimes you will not feel any physical sensations. Each person is different, and each session is different.

The session ends with a short period of rest, which allows the work to begin integrating. You will be encouraged to drink water while we discuss your experience and any insights you gained from the treatment.

What to expect after your Healing Touch session

Your energy will continue to shift for a few days after the session. I will recommend simple things you can do to promote the continued healing and suggest methods of self-care.

What Clients are Saying:

“My headache is gone.”

“The pain in my back was off the charts when we began. Now I would say on the pain scale it has gone from a 10 to a 4.”

“I feel so much more relaxed, positive and hopeful.”

“I feel lighter.”

“Chemotherapy has been challenging. These Healing Touch treatments have helped me get through it. I am less nauseous and constipated, and less anxious.”

“I have gained some important insights today. I feel more clear-headed and confident about talking to my manager at work about some situations that need to change.”

“It is such a relief to be able to let go of past experiences that have been holding me back. I am no longer afraid. I am at peace.”
